Mike Posner opens up about why American audiences should pay closer attention to his longtime friend and collaborator, Labrinth
for him). We both loved seeing how the sinewy musical seeds in our heads grew into willows and ferns when we recreated them with our instruments.
But there was one, GIGANTIC difference between us. He was better than me. And not by a little bit. In fact, not only was he better than me, but he was better than EVERYONE. With the possible exception ofOur first session together yielded little quality because we had it backwards. He was producing music for me. The songs were to be for my debut album,. It made no sense. He’d sing a melodic idea and I’d repeat it into the microphone, only it just sounded worse when I did it. It was obvious to me.
It’s worth noting that Labs differs from almost every contemporary artist in that he is a complete studio auteur — meaning, he makes the whole darn thing himself. He plays the bass, he writes the melody, he plays the guitar, he plays the keys, he programs the drums, he writes the charts, he sings the songs, and he produces everything. Hell, he even engineers the sessions himself. When the vast majority of Labrinth’s songs are made, Labrinth is the only person in the room.
His energy and enthusiasm for The Work were contagious. Our sessions always bulldozed through the scheduled end times — we’d work through the night, night after night. This is how he wore through The Chair! There was an understanding in the room: The Work was more important than us. The Work was everything. We never laid out these ground rules but we both understood them clearly. Our commitment made us members of a strange fraternity.
Labrinth and I both released our debut albums in 2010. We were both thrust, somewhat uncomfortably, into the public eye. We were both intrinsically shy kids pretending not to be. We both really just wanted to stay in that room, but were fellow astronauts exploring a strange galaxy. Occasionally we’d radio each other, compare notes and share tricks., two poetry albums, and walked across America. Labs, on the other hand, became somewhat of an enigma.
